This star doesn’t work overtime

If it is normal.

If a super celebrity like Wen Yixiao is going to perform, the entire program team will definitely contact Wen Yixiao's agent a few days in advance and make adjustments in all aspects to ensure that there will be no problems during the recording of the performance. An unexpected accident occurs.

But.

This time, the musician program team and even the entire organizer of Dragon TV ignored Wen Yixiao, a young superstar with more than 70 million fans and whose popularity is second only to Wang Cheng. All their thoughts were focused on Wang Cheng. , all thinking about how to make Wang Cheng happy in the program team, so as to lay the foundation for the next cooperation.

Of course, it’s not just the program team and Dragon TV, but also the thousands of viewers at the scene, as well as the contestants and academy representatives on the stage, as well as many insiders who come to join in the fun and many outside viewers who are looking forward to the show. , all instinctively ignored the super popular superstar Wen Yixiao.

Most of everyone's attention was focused on Wang Cheng.

Just like the trending entries on external social platforms show.

Wang Cheng alone occupies the top five of the top ten, and alone occupies half of the popularity in the entertainment industry. This is no joke.

so.

At this time, Wen Yixiao came on stage and played the song "General's Order" composed by Wang Cheng. The entire program team was caught off guard.

None of them paid any attention to Wen Yixiao's repertoire in advance, they just thought that Wen Yixiao was using connections to gain popularity.

Hu Xiaoshan turned around and glared at the staff member who specially registered these information, and then said: "Director Li, why don't you go talk to Wang Cheng? Now, there are only two solutions. Either, we ignore everyone on site and Wen Yi Due to Xiao's own emotions, she directly stopped Wen Yixiao's performance, asked her to choose a new song, and cut this section."

"Either let Wen Yixiao play this piece and Wang Cheng choose another piece. This will disappoint the audience at the venue and in front of the TV."

Zhao Donghu took a deep breath and whispered: "Then, how about just letting Wang Cheng perform once? Four performances is too embarrassing! He can just go up and play a piece of music, and it will be passable. I will contact a few judges , when Wang Cheng’s performance is over, tell them not to talk, otherwise even if they breach the contract and pay liquidated damages, they all pretend to be noble, but in fact they all like money, so they will definitely agree.”

Li Guang became a little calmer and said calmly: "Don't be impatient. Don't act rashly for the time being. Wang Cheng can perform as many shows as he wants. I'll ask him now. It's a recording and broadcasting anyway. We have the final say on how to edit it later!" "

After saying that, Li Guang turned around and left.

Hu Xiaoshan and others looked at Li Guang with solemn faces. They felt that Wang Cheng was just a hot potato and nothing was within their control.

on the stage.

Wen Yixiao was still playing this general's order, his hands quickly turning on the guzheng strings, and the light and picturesque notes kept flowing out.

Wang Chengdu put down his book, looked up at Wen Yixiao, and pricked up his ears to listen.

Wen Yixiao's performance exceeded his expectations and had reached the level of a guzheng expert, but was weaker than a guzheng master.

Of course, maybe she just studied this piece deeply enough and didn't play other pieces to such a high level.

Several judges on the stage looked at Wen Yixiao seriously. It was obvious that they were slightly surprised by Wen Yixiao's guzheng skills at this time.

At the door of the player lounge, Yan Qing, Sun Haibo, Zheng Yun, Phipps, Eva and other players were also standing there looking at Wen Yixiao on the stage, with a hint of surprise on everyone's face.

Sun Haibo talked the most. He looked at Wen Yixiao with a flash of surprise in his eyes and said softly: "I didn't expect that Wen Yixiao's guzheng level is surprisingly high."

He didn't say that Wen Yixiao's appearance and temperament were even more amazing at this time. That would make him appear to be a superficial person who cares about appearance, although he himself did care more about Wen Yixiao's appearance and temperament.

Zheng Yun said nothing, but a glint of approval flashed in her eyes.

Yan Qing said softly: "For this piece of music alone, the most I can do is this."

Yan Qing is a guzheng genius at the Sichuan Conservatory of Music. To be on par with her is the best compliment to Wen Yixiao.

However, Yan Qing glanced at Wang Cheng who was sitting not far away and said in a low voice: "If Wen Yixiao plays Wang Cheng's General Order, what will Wang Cheng himself perform?"

Sun Haibo and Zheng Yun both looked at Wang Cheng doubtfully.

However, Wang Cheng had lowered his head again and picked up the book to read.

Li Guang quickly walked to Wang Cheng and sat down, and whispered: "Wang Cheng, do you know about Wen Yixiao's performance of the General's Order?"

Wang Cheng shook his head.

Of course he didn't know. He didn't even know what he was going to play, so how could he know what others were going to play.

Li Guang said quickly: "Then Wen Yixiao played this piece of music, what do you want to perform? Do you want to cut this section and give me this piece of music to perform?"

Wang Cheng shook his head again: "No, she plays very well!"

Li Guang asked: "Then what music will you play? We will prepare instruments for you..."

Wang Cheng shook his head gently again: "I don't know yet!"

I originally planned to perform a song called "General's Order", but the other three performances depended on my improvisation and my mood.

Now it seems that the four performances all depend on the mood.

Therefore, for the time being, he himself doesn’t know what to perform.

Li Guang was a little speechless, feeling a little angry and helpless.

If it had been when he was at Eastern Star, he might have gotten angry. At that time, Wang Cheng was not well-known and had not shown much strength.

But at this time, he did not dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction when facing Wang Cheng, and whispered again: "Then, what musical instruments are prepared for you?"

Wang Cheng turned over a page of the book and said calmly: "It's just playing an instrument, don't bother me, just use whatever you have when the time comes..."

Li Guang really didn't know what to say.

If it were someone else, he might just ask his agent to take the person away without waiting for him.

But facing Wang Cheng, he could only endure it and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll call you when you perform!"

Wang Cheng hummed and continued reading.

Li Guang turned around and left, quickly walking back to the working area of ​​the backstage program team.

Hu Xiaoshan and Zhao Donghu hurriedly greeted him and asked in unison: "How is it? What did Wang Cheng say?"

Li Guang was silent for a moment. In order not to add pressure and negative emotions to the two of them, he could only pretend to be calm and said: "Wang Cheng has his own ideas. Just watch him perform when the time comes."

Forehead……?

Hu Xiaoshan, Zhao Donghu, and Gu Jun looked at Li Guang with questions on their faces.

How do they prepare for this?

They have no idea at all.

And at this time...

On the stage, Wen Yixiao's performance also ended.

In Wen Yixiao's hands, this "General's Order" was performed with a different brilliance than when Wang Cheng originally played it, with an added iron-hearted tenderness.

There was warm applause at the scene, and many celebrities and artists in the audience stood up and applauded, cheering for Wen Yixiao, and taking advantage of the trend to gain popularity.

If it hadn't been for the wrong occasion, there might have been some whistles and cheers.

All five judges gave Wen Yixiao applause.

Wen Yixiao stood up with a smile on her face. She didn't pay attention to the applause. She immediately looked in the direction of Wang Cheng. When she saw that Wang Cheng was also applauding her gently, the smile on her face instantly became bigger. His smile became brighter, and his smile even blushed with excitement. He hurriedly bowed slightly in the direction of Wang Cheng, and then gently bowed to the audience to thank him.

The host Wang Wenjing came up and said: "What a wonderful performance. This is the most wonderful general performance I have ever heard, except for Wang Cheng himself. Wen Yixiao, can you tell me how long you have been practicing this piece?" Already?"

Facing the camera and thousands of viewers, Wen Yixiao said without hesitation: "Ever since I heard it, I have been practicing it every day."

There was some applause again.

An Keru, Han Xiao, Zhu Ziqi, Lin Mi and others in the audience all made up their minds again. They must learn an instrument well when they return home.

Wang Cheng is known as a musical genius. If they can learn one more instrument, they will have more possibilities to talk to Wang Cheng.

Wang Wenjing praised: "It actually didn't take too long. From the time Wang Cheng himself played this piece to now, it's only about a month! You can practice this piece to this extent in one month, which is very powerful." and talent.”

Wen Yixiao smiled lightly: "Thank you!"

In fact, only she knows that she just has a unique understanding and practice mode of this piece of music. When practicing this piece of music, she will be more focused, and constantly recalling the scenes of Wang Cheng's performance in her mind will also make her more focused. If you understand the essence of the music well, you can naturally produce such effects.

A middle-aged man at the judges' table suddenly said: "Wen Yixiao, are you interested in studying at the Conservatory of Music? I think I can get you a place to study in the Department of Folk Music of the Central Conservatory of Music!"

Everyone looked at the judge who was speaking curiously. They all knew that this middle-aged man's name was Lu Jiaqi. He was a piano master who graduated from Yangyin University and was now teaching in the piano department of Yangyin University. He did have a way to make Wen Yi Xiao entered the Folk Music Department of the Central Academy of Music to study.

but……

Another person on the judges' bench was unhappy. Zhang Haijie, the current violin professor at Moyin, was a top student who graduated from the Juilliard School. He looked at Wen Yixiao and said, "Wen Yixiao, I think you should come to Moyin." Yin, there is a more international learning environment here!”

Many people at the scene did not expect that Wen Yixiao's performance would be competed by two professors from famous music schools.

Tian Wen, who was sitting in the audience, had a flash of expectation in her eyes. She expected that Wen Yixiao would agree to Lu Jiaqi's invitation to come to Yangyin to study folk music, and then she would personally take Wen Yixiao under her wing.

But……

Wen Yixiao shook her head slightly and said: "Thank you to the two judges for your favor. I'm sorry. I have no intention of further study for the time being..."

Lu Jiaqi, Zhang Haijie, and Tian Wen in the audience all shook their heads in disappointment.

Wang Wenjing quickly came out to smooth things over and said: "That's a pity! Thank you Wen Yixiao for giving us such a wonderful performance. Now Yixiao, please go down and have a rest. Now, our first round of official competition today is about to begin!"

"Please, contestant Sun Haibo from Yangyin and contestant Phipps from Curtis College of North America, get ready!"

After saying that, Wang Wenjing walked backstage with Wen Yixiao amid applause.

After leaving the stage, Wang Wenjing whispered to Wen Yixiao: "Yixiao, your performance just now was really wonderful."

Wen Yixiao smiled softly and said: "Thank you, your hosting is also very good."

Wang Wenjing is an elite that Dragon TV dug out from the Shanghai Media University. Her basic strength is not bad, and her image and temperament are also excellent. She is no worse than Wen Yixiao. What is missing now is a good training platform to accumulate experience.

Wang Wenjing smiled confidently: "There's still a long way to go..."

Wen Yixiao did not chat more with Wang Wenjing, entered the backstage, and walked directly to Wang Cheng. Without taking a second look at Sun Haibo and Phipps, who were about to perform on stage, she came to sit next to Wang Cheng and quickly asked: " How was my performance just now? I saw you applauding me!"

Wang Cheng glanced at Wen Yixiao and said truthfully: "It's okay!"

Being able to get Wang Cheng's "fair" evaluation was the highest evaluation for Wen Yixiao. She smiled happily and said, "Thank you. I practice this piece of music every day. I originally wanted to play a piano piece today, but then I still chose this song because I wanted to give you a surprise."

Wang Cheng didn't talk to Wen Yixiao anymore.

Wen Yixiao did not expect Wang Cheng to answer every one of her words, and continued: "What about you? If I played this piece of music, would it make it difficult for you to choose?"

Wang Cheng shook his head. It didn't matter to him what kind of music he played.

Wen Yixiao breathed a sigh of relief. She was afraid that her rash choice of Wang Cheng's original work would make Wang Cheng's performance difficult to choose.

Seeing that Wang Cheng didn't care, she breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "That's good! By the way, I hired a professional framer to frame the painting of The Knight's Journey that you wrote for me. Do you want to take a look?"

Wang Cheng's ears twitched slightly.

He also wanted to frame his humble house inscription and knight's trade, and then hang them in his new house. He wanted to see how Wen Yixiao framed them, but he resisted and ignored Wen Yixiao and continued. Read your own books.

Wang Wenjing, who was not far away, looked at this scene curiously and murmured in a low voice: "A fairy-like existence like Wen Yixiao is so humble in front of Wang Cheng, so I won't go there and ask for trouble!"

She originally wanted to go over and have a few words with Wang Cheng. It would be best to get an autograph and a photo or something.

Because she can be regarded as a fan of Wang Cheng. She had gone to see Wang Cheng's concert in Shanghai before, and she went to see two concerts in a row. She bought high-priced scalper tickets. The playlist of Penguin Music was also written by Wang Cheng. work.

She had long heard rumors in the industry that Wang Cheng was very difficult to get along with.

See you today...

She knew that it wasn't that it was difficult to get along with him, but that she couldn't get along with him at all. She could only stay away from him and turned to look at Phipps on the stage who was about to start performing!

Phipps is the first player to perform today.

As a piano genius from Curtis Institute, Phipps is well-known in the world of classical music circles. He has even held his own personal concert in North America. The tickets sold well and his future development prospects are very good. Many art promotion companies are already negotiating contracts with him.

This time, he wants to win the China Magic City Musicians' Show, then go back to hype up, sign a better contract with the agency, and then prepare to make his official debut.

Classical music geniuses, like newcomers in the entertainment industry, also make their debut when they officially start taking commercial performances.

Both circles are essentially making money...

It's just that it's easier to make money in the pop music industry.

In the classical music circle, it is harder to make money, but the style is higher, and people in the pop music circle are basically looked down upon.

Wearing an elegant suit, Phipps walked onto the stage and bowed gently to the judges and the entire audience. Then he walked unhurriedly to the piano and sat down. With a very elegant posture, he played a song from the world. This well-known piano piece is famous for its brisk rhythm and is a work that expresses the feeling of longing.

Basically, as soon as the intro started, everyone present was familiar with it. Even those in the entertainment industry who were not familiar with the classical music circle had heard this piece.

Phipps' performance is indeed top-notch. He is completely immersed in the music. He perfectly expresses the faint longing and sadness of this piece through the music. In addition, his personal image is also very good. , handsome with a hint of sadness, very attractive.

The song ends...

There was warm applause.

Teachers and students from major music conservatories applauded and expressed their affirmation.

"Phipps is really strong. If he can improve in the future, he will definitely have a place among the world's top piano masters!"

In the audience, Tian Wen applauded and said.

Chen Yuqi and Yu Hong also nodded in admiration. They felt that this top student from Curtis College really played very well, and they applauded vigorously at the same time.

After the applause ended, Wang Wenjing came on stage: "What a wonderful performance. Next, please give some ratings to the Phipps players!"

Phipps stood next to Wang Wenjing with confidence, facing several judges, looking forward to his score.

First of all, the judge from Curtis Institute, Professor Heise, looked at Phipps and praised: "It seems that you have not neglected yourself recently and have practiced hard. This piece is simple, but it will be more difficult to perform wonderfully." Obviously, you did that. I give you ninety-five points!”

Out of one hundred points, Professor Haixi gave it ninety-five points.

Phipps thanked him with a smile on his face.

Professor Lu Jiaqi from Yangyin said seriously: "You are indeed a piano genius, but you have not yet reached the perfect performance state I imagined. Therefore, I can only give you ninety points!"

Phipps was not surprised and said thank you.

Zhang Haijie said easily: "It exceeded my expectations, and I will give you ninety points. However, there is still a lot of room for improvement. I hope you can continue to work hard!"

The next two judges, Professor Mark from the Vienna Conservatorium of Music, did not comment too much and just calmly gave it 88 points. The other Professor Tim from the Berlin Conservatory of Music just said that it was good and gave it 88 points. Eighty-nine points!

For a piano genius like Phipps, a score below 90 is considered a failure...

However, the European classical music circle and the North American classical music circle began to oppose each other decades ago, so it is normal for both sides not to dislike each other.

Phipps walked off the stage in a defiant mood.

Later, Sun Haibo from Yangyin came on stage, looking sunny and handsome. After greeting the audience, the performance began.

The song chosen is also a famous song that is light and sunny, and the performance is not very difficult.

At their level, they have gone beyond the scope of showing off their skills. Those difficult songs are not difficult for them. What they are now pursuing is the improvement of their realm level, rather than a pure technical level.

For the five judges, showing off skills is not worthy of praise in their eyes.

Therefore, both of them chose famous songs that were not technically difficult, but difficult to express artistic conception.

Sun Haibo's entire performance was full of passion. His hands moved in a relatively large range, quickly and powerfully, so the stage atmosphere was very good.

When the song ended, the atmosphere at the scene improved a lot.

There was warm applause.

Many teachers and students from Yangyin stood up and applauded to express their support for Sun Haibo.

Tian Wen, Chen Yuqi, and Yu Hong also stood up together with other Yangyin teachers and students.

While applauding vigorously, Tian Wen whispered: "Sun Haibo's strength and talent are still higher than Phipps's, and Sun Haibo also went to Curtis College for exchange and study for a period of time. After returning, his strength improved very quickly, and he seemed to have suddenly enlightened. Same. There should be a chance to eliminate Phipps this time..."

Chen Yuqi didn't know much about classical music, but just said: "Sun Haibo's performance is indeed better than that foreigner's, and it can arouse emotions better!"

Tian Wen praised: "This is what real piano masters are pursuing. The essence of music is emotional resonance! Sun Haibo is already on the road to being a piano master."

Tian Wen looked at Sun Haibo and was very pleased, feeling that Yang Yin had a successor.

Xu Chaohua, who was not far away, said to Yan Yu: "Yang Yin is still very strong. Only Yang Yin can cultivate a genius like Sun Haibo!"

Yan Yu nodded: "His piano performance just now was indeed very good, better than that foreigner Phipps."

At this time.

Several judges also started to comment.

Professor Lu Jiaqi of Yangyin first said: "A very wonderful performance. This simple piece of music was played by you to create a not simple artistic conception. Your performance far exceeded my expectations. I give you ninety-seven Points! I just hope you don’t be proud and continue to work hard.”

Sun Haibo smiled and said: "Thank you Professor Lu..."

Professor Zhang Haijie of Moyin also smiled and said: "I will give you ninety-five points. Come to Moyin to learn and communicate when you have time."

Zhang Haijie wanted to poach people, and he was very jealous of Sun Haibo's strength and talent.

Sun Haibo smiled and said nothing.

Professor Haixi from Curtis College didn't look very good-looking. With his professional level, he could naturally tell that Sun Haibo's performance was better than Phipps's. He said lightly: "It's a very good performance. I'll give you ninety percent." point!"

However, it was impossible for him to give Sun Haibo a higher score than Phipps, even though Sun Haibo had also studied and exchanged at Curtis College for a period of time, and was considered half a student of Curtis College.

Phipps backstage saw this scene and his face was livid.

He knows that he may be eliminated soon...

This stage is so cruel.

really.

Professor Tim from behind also calmly gave Sun Haibo eighty-nine points.

Professor Mark also gave Sun Haibo eighty-nine points!

This time!

Sun Haibo's score exceeded Phipps.

Follow the program competition rules!

Sun Haibo eliminated Phipps and advanced to the next round, becoming the first member of the semi-finals and achieving the best result among Chinese players in the previous session.

Just when Sun Haibo was smiling.

Backstage, Li Guang had already come to Wang Cheng and asked in a low voice: "Wang Cheng, the first round of the competition is over. It's your turn. What instruments do you need? What music do you want to play? Do you need accompaniment?"

Wang Cheng then put down the book in his hand and ignored Wen Yixiao who had been sitting next to her. He stood up and looked towards the stage. He saw several staff members who were about to move the piano that Sun Haibo had performed just now, and immediately He said calmly: "No need to go to so much trouble, just use that piano!"

Wen Yixiao, who was sitting next to Wang Cheng, widened her eyes slightly and rubbed her ears, wondering if she heard wrongly.

Li Guang was also slightly surprised and asked: "Wang Cheng, what did you say?"

Wang Cheng said calmly again: "Just use that piano. There is no need to move it around. It is too troublesome and a waste of time..."

Li Guang and Hu Xiaoshan and the others behind him were all speechless after hearing this.

However, Li Guang reacted the fastest. He just wanted to agree to all Wang Cheng's requests, so he immediately turned to the person on the stage who was moving the piano and shouted: "Stop moving it, put it back!"

Several people were stunned for a moment...

Sun Haibo and Wang Wenjing, who had just turned around and walked down, were also stunned. Several other players, as well as Phipps, who had just been eliminated, also looked at Li Guang and Wang Cheng.

Li Guang looked at several people in a daze, raised his voice and yelled: "What are you doing standing still? Move back quickly, Wang Cheng wants to use the piano!"

All eyes were staring straight at Wang Cheng...

Wang Cheng ignored the glances around him and just walked to the stage unhurriedly, preparing for the next performance.
